You can always get good at playing the stock market, but don't get mad if you mess up a little at first. It takes time, sometimes I only gain 10% or less a week (on average) day trading, that is, now that I'm good at it.

Trading can be very profitable if you are good but there is also a learning curve, it is a zero sum game the most educated and brilliant traders will win the money of the other traders.

Some traders have bad habits or don't know what they are doing and end up gambling, with their hard earned money.

I have been called an extremist, a reactionary, a revisionist, an elitist, a supremacist, a racist, a homophobe, an anti-Semite, a right-winger, a theocrat, a godless cynic, a fascist and, of course, a must for every German, a Nazi.

So, it should be expected that I have a foible for politically "incorrect" sites that every "modern," "decent," "civilized," "tolerant," and "enlightened" man is supposed to ignore and avoid.

Anyone have any tips or advice on how to make and save money? Any advice for me? I am a woman who does not intend to have a career but went to University for a while and then quit. I intend to have children in 3-4 years and stay home and serve my husband. But until then I'd like to get some kind of small job and help contribute to the household savings. Any tips or tricks of ways of making extra money here and there? Or tips for saving money?

To a fellow Torontonian........I hear you. Just try scanning the papers - not the Toronto Sun but the Toronto Star. A friend of my daughter's found a job as a receptionist/secretary for a husband/wife team that installs fire alarms! She works on her own basically as both partners are away most of the working day. You have to be persistent if you want a job that won't overtax you and put you in the same company as a bunch of filthy undesirables (which happened to me for awhile - but it was an experience!). Take your time. Make a list of the kind of jobs/working conditions you want. Front desk reception isn't bad and you get to meet a lot of interesting people. Either that or go and register with a temp agency like Kelley Services. Tell them you only want temporary office work. You can take assignments whenever you want and if you want to take a break just tell the agency that you need some vacation. Always show up on time, always do a good job and you'll keep getting more assignments. I did that too for awhile, except it was factory work, when I needed some money and the freedom was quite nice. I used to take my entire summers off!

As to saving money, you've got to have a budget and stick to it! Even if it means packing a lunch and foregoing that Tim Horton's coffee! We did that and over time, we were actually able to move to a nice neighborhood in Central Etobicoke which is quiet and safe. But you gotta have willpower and stick to it. Try living on only one paycheck if you can. It's hard but you can actually get used to it if you're willing to live below your means for a few years.
